@dutchiris Because filling your puzzle with proper nouns, especially crossed ones, is lazy construction and makes for a lame puzzle.
@Linda glad I wasn't the only one!
Hung on FIVE crossing proper nouns. What an awful puzzle.
"Whimsical misspellings" can be outlawed in future puzzles, thank you. I know someone will come in with the "I solved it in 90 seconds, 10 slower than my average."-comments, but what a slog of a Monday. POESY? LOOIE? GEST? Just no fun and not the kind of challenging I'm looking for.
What is "SITSPAT"? S ITSPAT? SI TSPAT? SIT SPAT? SITS PAT? SITSP AT? SITSPA T? I am at a loss. PS: Solved it in under 8 minutes pretty slow for me.
The theme and rebusses were fine but not a fan of so many intersecting proper nouns, and AEIOU was criminal.
Can anyone explain 'Mer contents' - EAU? My last word of the puzzle and one that left me scratching my head.
Thanks, Adam. I definitely had more than a LIL fun with this puzzle.
18-down, 26-down, and 36-across... A double Natick that really spoiled a nice puzzle.
@Captain Quahog You both beat me too it, except I was going to say "Nice Monday puzzle."
@Regine nothing gives pretentious NYT puzzlers more satisfaction than insisting that obtuse nonsensical themes were in fact perfectly simple.
@Becca to me, crossed proper nouns get into Natick territory but I suppose everyone's specific knowledge varies.
